| Obverse description | The left vignette bears the Imperial arms of Russia — a double-headed eagle on a heraldic shield surrounded by military trophies including swords, banners, and a sceptre — set against a fine guilloche underprint in blue and buff tones. The heading ГОСУДАРСТВЕННЫЙ КРЕДИТНЫЙ БИЛЕТЪ runs in large Cyrillic letterpress across the upper right, with the denomination ПЯТЬ РУБЛЕЙ in bold type at centre and a large ornate numeral "5" at right. Two manuscript signatures of the Manager (Управляющий) and Cashier (Кассиръ) appear below the text block, with the issue year in a cartouche at lower left and the serial number repeated at lower centre and right. |

| Reverse description | Printed entirely in blue-green intaglio on a fine guilloche ground, the reverse centres on the Imperial double-headed eagle within an elaborate interlaced oval medallion, flanked by large mirror-image ornamental numeral "5" cartouches. The denomination ПЯТЬ РУБ. arcs around the central medallion, while a bordered text panel in the upper right carries an extract from the Imperial Manifesto on Credit Notes. Repeated small numeral "5" ornaments form a decorative outer border along all four sides. |
